How about one of those LED sets? You can change the colors and they are supposed to be much more durable than traditional neons. Might be something to look into.

i';ve been reading about the led style kits, i've been told that there light isn't that bright, and they aren't as eye-appealing, maybe someone else can chime in with some more info on them

defenitly orange if you get some.

im not flaming but i want to let you know you will probably get sick of them in a year or two and you might just want to think about it hard before you get them for sure. you could put that $300 somewhere else in the car.

street glow

id say go with the led kit from Streetgloe. top of the line brand. also you have the choice between all 7 colors, alot of different scanning paterns, and even revs with the engine / beats to music. plus many other things. Its about 260 but i have it and i beleive its well worth it and better then a single color neon.

i think either color will look ok but putting orange neons on an orange car may be too much for the car...if you go with white it will look great and the colors might compliment eachother more. but that is just my opinion..
